Obverting outrage; obviate obnubilation ...

[LINK Vanguard News]

[edited 13:30] Too little too late? Mrs. Obama joining the call for some action on the situation of the Nigerian school girls that were abducted FOUR WEEKS AGO by Nigerian Islamic terrorists (very surprised by the comments under that article btw). Relatively little has been reported about this until recently (with some exceptions [ABC Spanish]) despite the sudden spike in reporting [that seems like a contradiction but it isn't]; Nigerian-American writer Teju Cole called the abductions Twitter's 'cause of the day', a bit like flavour of the month; on Twitter he went further saying: "For four years, Nigerians have tried to understand these homicidal monsters. Your new interest (thanks) simplifies nothing, solves nothing." However, I am sure the school girls, as they [edit: allegedly] suffer multiple rapes every day or get their throats cut, appreciate the hashtag thought [sarc off]. Four weeks, the longer it goes the harder it will be to get those still alive back in one piece: does anyone think they are all still together, eating and sleeping happily as a group in a hall? They are already split into singles or small groups, maybe even sent to other Islamic militant groups, maybe in other countries. Small mercies: some have already escaped and others found in the forest.



Obama and his government hadn't seemed that interested; in fact they only put Boko Haram on the list of foreign terrorist organizations in November last year, having refused to do so on more than one occasion previously, including the 2011 bombing of the U.N. headquarters in Abuja. The mainstream media’s sudden interest in the abducted girls and Boko Haram is amazing. This devout Muslim group... has been waging bloody jihad in Nigeria for years, while the U.S. government, the United Nations and the mainstream media [and just about everyone except those condemned as anti-Muslim hate mongers] yawned. And will new outrage be short-lived? These otrocities often are e.g. who recalls the Kenyan Mall attack last autumn? Who knows that Boko Haram has already murdered in the most brutal fashion nearly 2600 people in the first three months of this year? They target teachers, doctors, schools..."but above all, Christians". This is a religious war; attacks are on-going (overshadowed by the mass abduction) but have been going on for years; hopefully this latest upsurge international interest will spark some serious countermeasures: Goodluck Jonathan, Action This Day.



"It is also time for Western liberals to wake up", Well said Ayaan Hirsi Ali: "If they choose to regard Boko Haram as an aberration, they do so at their peril. The kidnapping of these schoolgirls is not an isolated tragedy; their fate reflects a new wave of jihadism that extends far beyond Nigeria and poses a mortal threat to the rights of women and girls"...[and boys, and men, and Christians].



Islamic scholars of course are denouncing the kidnapping and subsequent pronouncements by Boko Haram as "a gross misinterpretation of Islam", interestingly, even Al Qaeda seem to have the same message; what about the wholesale slaughter of Christians, burning of churches, beheadings, attacking schools, "incessant bombings and blood letting" that's been happening for years?

Omnipresent oppressors...

[edit] "In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act."



Oppression from left and right. We know that many on the Left are notorious Fascists (whilst claiming to fight Fascism); is it really a mystery why they happily and openly hold hands with many that are really 'ultra-right'? The answer, says James Bloodworth, writing in the Independent Voices, ("Why is the left so blinkered to Islamic extremism?") "lies in the fact that many Islamists exhibit a pathological anti-Americanism that is quite attractive to a certain type of degenerated progressive". Very probable; James links to The One Law for All Campaign's report [pdf link] which focuses on the most conspicuous - but by no means all - examples of the pro-Islamist Left in Britain.

"Any principled point of view must oppose all forms of fascism, including Islamic fascism and side with the countless people, many of whom are Muslim, who are fighting and challenging Islamism here in Europe as well as the Middle East, North Africa and across the world."

Now, however, the oppression and quashing of free speech, comes from the 'right' as well: earlier this week...was it an over zealous civil servant or mandarin that denied Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer entry to Great Britain? If so I can forgive Theresa May; if not she must fall from her once lofty position in my esteem (I'm sure she'll be upset) to join other extremist hate-monger apologists like slime-ball liar and cheating thief [too many sleaze examples for individual links] who should be in gaol Keith Vaz and lying terrorist-loving hypocrite Tony Lloyd (a 'Sheriff' no less!). To openly assist those that would do us harm they are surely part of the problem. I agree with Paul Austin Murphy:

"This is both very strange and disturbing case for the UK. Two activists who have spent their lives fighting against Islamist hate have themselves been called 'purveyors of hate' and therefore banned from entering the UK. Yet the UK has allowed numerous Islamists and even known jihadists into the country. On top of all that. The ones who are already here have been provided with copious state benefits, the best 'human rights lawyers' available, large houses, 24-hour security and God knows what else."...

..."So it seems that according to the Government, as well as to the Leftist whores-of-Islam, that Islamic violence and Islamism in the UK is OK; but criticising Islamic violence and Islamism is certainly not OK."
